To make people demonise their own bodies, sell them drugs that make them addicted to feeling socially acceptable, and then when they try and stop, up to 80% regain the weight… Also, mention BMI one more time 🤬🤬🤯

I've smelled so many different BBQs today and the meat yearning is strong... *sigh*

imperial rot.

Thunder Tease.

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you: - Ketamine - My womb - Alcohol related blackouts - Depression

I was car-less before Xmas & took the bus for a few days, which for a car-driving Aucklander was quite a novelty 😜 I always think of Richard Scarry books on the bus because bus life is such a cross-section of the society we live in. So I started following this IG & it’s the sweetest thing on my TL

My gods, this is eye-wateringly hopeful, and visionary, and powerful. This voice, these words, are so much more powerful than anything a mediocre colonial beneficiary could even dream of… Local, global, powerful, inspiring.

I love it when stuff I have been struggling to articulate is elegantly stated by someone so much better at this than me.

This is so sad. Every domestic violence tragedy is deeply sad.

This is so wild.

Very pleased that New York City will have an inaugural poet and such a fine one in the great Cornelius Eady. Poet Elizabeth Alexander of the Mamdani arts and culture transition committee doing good work: “Poets and artists…can say things that politicians can’t say.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/n...

Someone told Central Labour in Aotearoa this is how you do shit? None of this insipid Centralism Incrementalism Bollocks like GST off fruit, and loans to GPs

I hope Hipkins is listening #nzpol

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) joined a public swearing-in ceremony for Zohran Mamdani. “We will govern expansively and audaciously ... never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try,” Mamdani said.

I’ve been flying the Morning Star flag since 1 December for a #FreeWestPapua but tonight we returned to flying the Tino Rangatiratanga flag for a liberated and free Aotearoa in 2026. Feels good to see this small expression of solidarity with Tangata Whenua alive in the elements every day.

Without alcohol, drugs, drinkers and drink-ups in my life... I listen to the songs I've listened to, pined over, my whole adult life, with such clarity. Eddie Lovette boiii... 🥰

This was playing from a sound system at Waiomanu Bay this morning 😎 #remixxx

In #NewZealand, white supremacy is alive and kicking, all the time.

Watching “Naked Attraction” for the first time and omfg

Thoroughly eaten out.

A gentle sunrise in the East over the Tāmaki Strait. Kiddo and I jumped in for a first swim of the year. So quiet 🙏🏽 The summer period at the bays from Maraetai to Umupuia is such a beautiful expression of #SouthAuckland’s rich and dynamic cultural make-up.

Everything about this is awful. If it looks like human trafficking, and smells like human trafficking…

“Without any exaggeration, this is one of the most important finds in the Pacific. There’s so much here, and the preservation is extraordinary. It dates to the heyday of Pacific voyaging.” #moana

Trying to space out the dentistry I need across different cycles of debt and repayments but when the tooth turns grey... I understand entirely why so many people I know have opted for extractions over fillings 😩

In his latest reflection from his posting in Brussels from 1988-1998, Fijian diplomat Kaliopate Tavola reflects on a meeting of Club Temoin, a significant political think tank, founded in 1992 by prominent French socialist politician Jacques Delors.

Boxing Day sales are the saddest reminder that Christmas as a cultural phenomenon is driven by deeply unethical capitalism that privileges big business and the cult of consumerism over everyday people and their basic human needs. Ick, man.. Fuckin ick. Touch grass. Disconnect.

#NowListening Nikki Moss is an excellent teacher and I had an amazing time in a Womenzshed workshop earlier this year - highly recommend!

Love to see the leadership on the African continent. This is meaningful, structural, intentional decolonisation in practice.

So New Zealand is not a Christian ethno-state but we culturally recognise the birth of Jesus Christ & his resurrection, and recognise zero other religious days by way of a public holiday... but apparently we are a secular, multi-cultural nation... riiiiight... I can't wait for our decolonisation.

Recommend this important film 🤎 But explaining why Indigenous women are disproportionately represented in the statistics of missing and murdered people in America is a terrible and galling conversation to have with an Indigenous girl child learning about the world.

Te Pāti Māori is 21 years old. National is 89, act 31, NZ First 32 and Labour is 109 YEARS OLD. My loyalty & respect for Te Pāti Māori isn’t moved by the growing pains of a 21 year old party doing the absolute most to represent a deep & diverse base of tribal complexities and allies. MAD respect.

Tbh, it makes me emotional when I call ACC sensitive claims and they are kind and helpful, and accommodating, because I think they know how heavy it is to ask for help. I think this is one thing this country gets so right 🥲

Any time David Seymour appears in this news claiming to be standing with a minority targeted by prejudice and violence journalists have an obligation to remind us he accepted a donation from a man who threatened to "destroy mosque after mosque until they take me out" www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350...

I can’t bring myself to read the NZ Herald in any form but the cringe, shame and embarrassment is so intense as an indigenous Pacific Islander. Destiny Church is so shameful, so ‘low-information voter’, so hate-fuelled and self-righteous. They’re so embarrassingly small-dicked and terrified.

Ouusshh so nice... Homai E - MĀ #Aotearoa

Lovely 💓

1333 days sober ⭐️ boop!

I will eat nectarines all summer long 🥹 Love to see that summertime price drop 🛒

THIS PART. This government HAS GOT TO GO. This brazen act of voter suppression issuch a revolting desperate grasp of colonial legacy power, and it is completely NAUSEATING. 🤮🤮🤮 ONE TERM GOVERNMENT 🤮🤮🤮
